mid autumn night 2

Honghe Temple.

Wei Xuanmo finished writing a letter, read it carefully, and then handed it to a burly man beside him.

"You go now."

"Send this letter to the Jade Buddha Temple as quickly as possible, and give it to Master Pukong, he knows how to do it!"

The man took the letter with a bow, bowed and retreated.

Wei Xuanmo got up, hammered his legs that were a little numb from sitting, and walked a few steps in the room to the door.

He looked at the dark night outside and felt the coolness brought by the autumn rain.

Yang Duoduo took a cloak and came over, put it on his shoulders, and muttered, "The weather in Ningguo is changing too fast, sir, you need to put on more clothes, so you don't get cold."

Wei Xuanmo was still looking at the door, and suddenly asked, "Is there any news about the harvest of autumn grain in our country this year?"

"Mr. Hui, except for the floods in the south that have slightly reduced production, the rest of the country is still having a bumper harvest... What is the teacher asking?"

"Ningguo has been taken care of by God this year. I heard that there is no drought or waterlogging in all parts of the country, and the harvest is bumper... Even the banditry is much less than before."

Yang Duoduo looked at Wei Xuanmo's back, "Don't worry, sir, even if Ningguo has a good harvest, Ningguo has a lot of moths. The taxes and grains to the Ministry of Households are at most enough to meet the distribution of officials' salaries, not enough to make money. Not to mention the country's wealth! People's lives will still be very hard."

"You still underestimated Ning Ren's toughness!"

Wei Xuanmo turned around slowly, and said, "As a teacher, I have traveled in Ning country for more than a year. I have been to some places and met many Ning people."

"If you say they are sheep, but when danger comes, they can unite as one and burst out with wolf-like ferocity."

"But if you say they are wolves...however, they don't have the unyielding and fighting spirit of wolves!"

"The information we have received over the years all say that the people of Ning are not doing well. But in these years, apart from a few bandits, there has not been a large-scale uprising in any part of Ning."

"So, under the dissuasion of my teacher, your father and emperor weighed and weighed and waited until now to conquer Ningguo!"

"My teacher thought that conquering Ningguo would be easy for a while, but trying to destroy Ningguo...is not easy!"

"What's the best time?"

"It is to make the Ning people completely lose hope in the royal family! Let them recognize the corruption of this right!"

"It is to intensify the conflicts between the various forces in Ningguo and cause civil strife to break out!"

"There's a guy named Xi Wei who has been doing this all the time. He's doing a good job, but the methods he uses are too extreme."

"However, the opportunity to conquer Ningguo is now!"

Yang Duoduo was surprised, he had naturally heard the name Xi Wei, but he didn't know that these things were planned by Xi Wei, so he asked, "Xi Wei, is the strategist of our Yue Kingdom?"

Wei Xuanmo shook his head, "He is also our enemy of Yue!"

"Because of him, Lu Zhanxiao was ransacked and beheaded when he got on the bus... After all, he is the blood of your father, aunt, and aunt. Although he died under the order of Emperor Ning, the culprit is this Xi Wei!"

Yang Duoduo knows this story.

She lowered her head slightly, took a deep breath, and then raised her head and asked, "Sir, the Privy Council later investigated the matter and said that Princess Lu Ruyi and County Ma Qiao Zitong, who belonged to the Lu clan, did not die in the plum garden... They If he is still alive, his heirs may already be teenagers."

Wei Xuanmo was noncommittal about this.

"It's almost time, go ask your brothers to prepare."

"Let's go to the literary world!"

"Let's meet the number one talented scholar in Ning Kingdom... Li Chen'an!"

...

...

Li Chenan's carriage came to the literary world, but did not drive in.

He asked Xiao Wu to continue driving, and he came to the archway of the Taiyuan Academy.

Xiang Dong was a little surprised, and thought that what he said just now made the young man puzzled, so he asked, "Certification?"

To seek proof, of course, is to find out what happened to the sixteen contestants from the Taiyuan Academy.

Li Chenan shook his head, "No need, I just want to meet an old friend."

"Master Hua?"

"Exactly."

Li Chenan stepped forward and followed him eastward.

"When I was in Guangling City, thanks to Brother Hua's kindness, I have been in Kyoto for more than 20 days, but I haven't been able to pay a visit."

"Wenhui is scheduled for Xushi, and there is still a little time left, just to meet...Life is impermanent, if there is no chance to see you again in the future, wouldn't it be a pity."

Xiang Dong raised his eyes to look at Li Chen'an, thinking that what Li Chen'an was worried about was losing in the literary meeting, and then being beheaded by the emperor's decree.

Such worries are perfectly normal.

Even if the young man just said that rather heroic sentence just now, Ning Ming died, and he lived without silence!

Teacher, if you have a grandson like this, you should be able to smile at Jiuquan!

Three people walk together.

Standing in front of the tall stone tablet next to the archway.

With the dim light in the autumn rain, the words engraved on the stone tablet are not very clear.

Li Chenan just stood there for five breaths, shook his head and smiled, and stepped into the archway.

There are also many students in Taiyuan Academy who are going out.

After all, it is such a big event, after all, it is possible to see Li Chenan in person at this event, and to witness his peerless demeanor in poetry and writing.

Even though there was a rumor in the Imperial College today, even if these students were extremely angry after hearing the rumor, the most important thing now is to see if Li Chenan has the strength against the sky to make a comeback!

The students were apprehensive.

is worried.

He was extremely concerned about Li Chenan's victory or defeat.

Even if Master Yuanzheng said calmly, don't worry, since Li Chen'an was born in heaven, he will definitely be popular in the literary world for five hundred years!

Of course, this is the strong confidence of Master Yuanzheng in Li Chenan, but what Li Chenan has to face is the most talented students of Yue Guo Guozijian!

Two fists are no match for four hands.

Evil tigers are also afraid of wolves.

What's more, since ancient times, there has been a saying that there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts.

No matter how talented Li Chenan is, but his poems and essays are extensive and profound, no one knows which topic the emperor will choose, and no one knows what methods Ji Tai has done on this matter.

They passed by Li Chenan.

There were even occasional glances between Li Chenan and Li Chenan.

But because Li Chen'an lived in a simple place, none of the students from the Taiyuan Academy knew him.

It was him they were talking about.

In words, he was worried about Li Chen'an, and hated Ji Tai deeply.

Li Chen'an listened all the way, especially when he heard, 'Since the heavens gave birth to Li Chen'an, he will surely be a coquettish literary world for five hundred years! ' He grinned when he said that.

He looked towards Xiang Dong, and suddenly said, "Listen, they have extremely high expectations of me."

"They are actually very clear about the current situation in Ningguo!"

"Although the night is dark, there are still fireflies."

"They are the hope of Ningguo."

Xiang Dong naturally also heard what those students said, and also understood the meaning of Li Chenan's words.

He pondered for a moment, then sighed slightly, "After all, it's fireflies, it's hard to illuminate the darkness of this night!"

Li Chenan waved his hand

"No, I thought... a single spark can start a prairie fire!"
